Famous quotes containing the word conqueror:

    Lift not thy spear against the Muses’ bower:
    The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
    The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
    Went to the ground; and the repeated air
    Of sad Electra’s poet had the power
    To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    No conqueror believes in chance.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The conqueror at least; who, ere Time renders
    His last award, will have the long grass grow
    Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.
    If I might augur, I should rate but low
    Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
    Mock tyrants, when Rome’s annals wax’d but dirty.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
